Please help, suggestions = Nighttime wide angle lens?

[Cieloent]

Ok I had a past shoot this weekend and my 50mm 1.8 looks amazing, problem is is simply was not wide enough to fit more than a couple of people in frame, so that's going to be a fun job editing .


Well I have another shoot coming up and I need at least something half of that, like a 20mm 24mm, etc.

I usually shoot with my f stop around 2.2-2.5 and 800 iso and I am happy with those settings. So I need a lens with at least 2.0-2.5 area and less than 50mm, any suggestions?


Thank you

Here is a 10pm shot of the Three Sisters Mountain Range in Central Oregon a few nights ago, lit only by moonlight and the stars, shot with a 7D, Tokina 11-16 f2.8. Granted, it's a still photo but I have used this lens on the 7D in numerous HD low light shoots and there's nothing better in my book.

Wow!, Great photo. I see this lens sells for $600, so I now must ask the question...... Is it worth that top dollar?


Would have liked for it to have been 2.5 though

It would seem to be worth the money though while 600 is steep its not the worst out there.

It's worth it.
